Hi Kari,
I was thinking about writing about this small blur, but reading your note I understood. It gives a strange feeling to the picture. I like the coulours of the foreground, against that cloudy sky, but maybe you could have chosen a tighter crop, on the left side.
Anyways, the result nice, despite the circumstances.
Regards,
Youssef.

What luck to catch the giraffes in this position. I don't agree with Youssef about the crop as I think you need the space for the giraffe to look into, so he is not looking straight out of the frame. Well composed despite your difficulties and sympathies for the ruined shots.

Hi Kari,
the scan isn't the best but the scene is really good.
The 2 giraffes has an excellent pose.
Beautiful colors as well.
Well done

Amazing wildlife scene that you captured very well!
I understand your disappointment when you realized your pictures were blurry. I am happy some of them were really great, like this one.

Salut Kari
La scène est superbe, lumière et composition, ainsi que l'attitude des girafes. Vraiment dommage le manque de netteté

Hi Kari, I like this one a lot, it even seems that the giraffes are always there, as an inseparable part of the landscape, or in kind of sculpture; they nicely stand out against the sky, TFS! Daniel

Terve Kari,
Given the conditions you mention must not be easy at all, next time mount the 200-500mm Tamron on your 350D and you'll get elephants as far as Kenya from Namibia ;-)
I find sharpness acceptable on this one, and their position is excellent, light is good too, a good wildlife scene.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

Hello Kari
A good image considering the scan. Brightness is just fine. Image is simply National Geographic...only may be you could have cropped the barren portion on the left & maybe sharpened a wee bit.

La lumière d' Afrique crée un superbe spot sur cette scène, même classée X.
Très beau ciel servi par une bonne composition en tiers.
Une photo qui mériterait un scan de meilleur qualité.
